Mailbox size reports - this has to be easy right?

stonefish0570 · 2009-04-07T07:39:42.000Z

Hi all,

Basically i would like to get a report every week with everyones mailbox size from spiceworks in my email (well ideally I’d like it to email the report to all the managers so that they can tell there staff they have exceeded there limit !)

Any ideas? I know the information is in there i just don’t know how to get it out.

Thanks y’all

Stoney

If youre running exchange 2007 its easy

Get-mailboxstatistics -verbose

It wont give you the size of the mailbox but it will tell you if the mailbox is below its size limit, if the user is getting issued a warning, or if their box is so full that prohibit send/receive is active. If you have a lot of users just put the output into a text file to read at your leisure.

Thanks momurda

That would be perfect but unfortunatly (I should of stated) we are running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2.

Hi Christophe

Thats what I started doing and thought… ther must be a better way of doing this?

Ok, well I’ll leave this ‘out there’ for a bit and see if anybody has any other ideas but in the short term i guess i’ll do just that.

Cheers

Stoney.

I was hoping someone out there knew an easy way too. The hard way is go into Exchange System Manager, drill down Servers, your server, First Storage Group, Mailbox Store, Mailboxes folder, sort it by Size, and Export List.

I just found this

and this

I think either one works, youll just have to sub your own names in there.
